Looking for opinions on where to search for a farm hand in south central Iowa area. Have had full time worker in past, but may consider a couple part time positions? It would be mostly habitat type work as the row crop and hay ground is leased out. Someone that is handy with equipment( tractors...

Anyone have a positive experience or know someone that has had a positive experience with a good consulting forester in south central Iowa? Looking at some larger scale timber projects and would appreciate some feedback if anyone has had a good experience working with one. I know it’s kind of a...

Would anyone have advice on the best way to find a farmer willing to cash rent crop ground and hay ground on their property? It isn’t the best farmland based on CSR and field size, but I feel the amount we are asking compensates for that. Our old tenant doesn’t want to do it anymore due to the...

Wondering if you all can help me out. A few weeks ago I thought I remembered seeing a post of an individual that had recovered a large buck this spring they had shot during last years archery season. If I remember correctly, they had the hunt on film(possibly the Trophy Pursuit team???) and...

I haven't posted too many times on the site, but do read all the other posts quite often and have found the site to be a source for some valuable info. With all the change about to happen in our political system I thought I might throw out a quick plug to join the NRA. I am in no way...

Just wondering if anyone had any good recomendations for books and/or websites that contained good information on habitat management for deer and turkeys. This site is great, just looking for some new stuff to read. Suggestions for books on deer and deer hunting would also be welcomed.

Just trying to get a list together of possible locations that sell seed/seed mixes for food plot plantings. They can be either actual retail stores/co-ops or be online stores as long as they are competitive in price and have good selection. It would be nice of the stores were close to East...

Will be doing some management on some native grass stands(grass only) and old brome stands this year and was wondering if anyone had ideas on what was the most effective means of disturbance. Fire will not work on some of the plantings due to tree plantings that are too close. Was looking at...
